This 40-page report, based on responses to HIN's second comprehensive industry survey on health risk stratification, assembles a wealth of metrics on indexing individuals by health severity before matching them to risk-related interventions—case management, health coaching, home health monitoring, or more intensive management.

And as organizations acclimate to segmenting populations by health risk levels, this report also documents the emerging trend of targeting 'rising risk' patients with the goals of encouraging behavior change and heading off adverse and costly health events and utilization.

Supported with dozens of graphs and tables, this 2016 market research delivers a compendium of best practices and benchmarks in health risk stratification and its impact on clinical, financial and operational metrics.
